With the 2019 Tokyo Auto Salon coming soon, Suzuki has announced some of its exhibits that will be present at the show. Out of the three concepts that will be presented, two of them are based on the latest Jimny.
The first is a rather exciting prospect as it is a Jimny that has been converted to a pick-up truck. Suzuki used a Jimny in Sierra trim to create the concept, which replaces the rear seats and parts of the cab for a shorted bed.
It also features a gold paintjob, wood sides, a new grille, white roof, light bar and white wheels with chrome hubcaps. The company says the concept was designed for customers who require the convenience of a pickup for DIY stuff, adventuring, or other hobbies.
As for the other concept, the Jimny Survive concept preserves the bodywork of the small off-roader but adds on plenty of adventuring gear. New metal bumpers replace the originals ones and give better approach and departure angles, as a start.
Also present is an external rollover cage, a winch, additional metal plating, new wheels and deployable off-road ramps.
Meanwhile, the third concept comes in the form of the Swift Sport Yellow Rev, which comes with a special colour loosely translated from Japanese to ‘High Chroma Yellow Pearl’ – the colour of Suzuki Sport. The show car receives some custom decals and a black roof as well.

Irrelevant brand here.
is there any petition i can sign to bring back Suzuki here…?
anyone…..?
Honestly my swift 2010 is more2 better compare to new myvi…proud to own suzuki.
DRB Hicom did a real booboo when they stopped bringing in the Suzuki brand… it was a short term measure to help out ailing Proton at the time at the expense of the Suzuki brand… which got it nowhere. Which actually how ‘smart’ DRB folks are up there.
The Swift is easily one of the better selling models locally. Heard that this new Jimny will be introduced to the UK market early 2019 with an initial 600 units… but already having a pre booking of 10,000 orders by now.
Wish someone… anyone could bring back this Suzuki brand.
myvi 1.5 lgi best literally killed swift. still remember i brought my friend to test drive both. The swift feels underpower compare myvi 1.5. So bye2 swift.. unless this new version can churn out 140 hp.. i doubt people will buy this expensive small car..
